Married To Chef Jutek

Feelings of Rega

"Gilsa have you prepared everything?"

Arjuna asked Gilsa on his way home from the set. They've planned a meeting of Melati's family and her mother.

"Here you go, sir."

"Have you confirmed everything?"

"InshaAllah, Sir. As planned."

The car drove the mother's residence. Sometimes Arjuna checks CCTV at home, just to make sure that the situation is okay.

Car pulls over in the yard. Arjuna gets off with Gilsa while Regi waits in the car. They walk in tandem. After pressing the bell, the door opened. Mbok greeted them with a fluffy smile.

"Eh, Sir. Please enter!" Arjuna smiled, then entered with Gilsa.

Her mother was feeding the fish in the back pond. Arjuna immediately grabbed her from behind and kissed the top of her head. Although initially shocked, because Arjuna came suddenly, but the eyes sparkled when they knew Arjuna was coming.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma," said Arjuna as he walked before his mother and sat crouching in alignment, not forgetting that he kissed the back of her hand with reverence.

"Waalaikumsalam, Son. You just ngagetin. Not been here long. How was filming outside of town yesterday? Success, right? Mama is very upset with you and Melati. Mama's favorite daughter-in-law is coming, right?" he asked while looking left and right, looking for Melati.

Arjuna smiled. The mother held her hand and explained that she was not with Melati.

"I'm home from work, so I haven't stopped by the house yet, Ma. I'm afraid I'll be back home first."

"Try Mama to stay with you. Kan Mama does not need to hold this longing in your favorite daughter-in-law. You're the same Rega, take the show disagree."

Again Arjuna could only smile, seeing his mother pouting, annoyed.

"Don't disagree, Ma. Poor Rega, he's still alone. If there is a mother, she has her friends. Juna promised to bring Melati here in the near future with his family."

His mother was fixated, not expecting the words coming out of the child's mouth.

"What's? Melati family in Jakarta? You mean Mama's gonna meet besan?" mama asked, not believing in the happy look. "Oh, Alhamdulillah." Ms. Hertini hugged Juna. Her mother looked very happy. While Arjuna looked at Gilsa as her mother hugged. As if not sure 100℅ with his decision.

"Thank you, son. Thank God I finally met you. What clothes should you wear, huh?"

"Mom wear whatever suits you!"

"Oh you, I think Mama should buy new clothes." Arjuna just sat crouching in front of his mother while listening to her mother say many things. Sometimes the man smiled, and laughed. Sometimes just nodding. Then quietly listen, even though his heart is marked by great worry, but he tries to look okay.

Elsewhere, Melati and Revi are visiting Juwita at the hospital. Juwita's situation is better than before. He never went berserk again. The woman just sat quietly looking at the photo in her hand. Still the same photo, wedding photo Melati and Arjuna. Sometimes he sobbed, then smiled and laughed.

"Juna, are you happy with this woman? If you are happy, I am happy too! The oath!! Suerr!! If I lie you can pinch my nose like you used to" he said with teary eyes. "But you know? I will always like you. Because I have never loved anyone! You are always in my heart." His lips spoke again.

Melati averted her eyes, she could not bear.

"Mama Melati crying?" revi asked, as he saw the woman wipe the water at the end of the eye.

Melati just smiled.

"Mama's getting well, huh, Ma? That's Mama's not angry anymore" the boy said.

"InshaAllah, you'll be well soon, dear. Don't forget to keep praying." Melati rubbed Revi's head full of affection.

"Mama Jasmine!" call Revi while shaking the hand of the woman beside him. He was standing on a chair, next to Melati's body. The woman looked

"Later if Mama's healed, Revi back again with Mama, huh?" Melati held back her tears. His chin was furrowing withstanding the sadness.

"Iy .. yes Darling," said Melati slightly stamped. The boy hugged Melati's body.

"Revi will definitely miss Mama Melati."

The woman was silent, she did not know what to say. He could only return the child's embrace while closing his eyes, permeating the child's warm embrace that he might not feel again one day.

At night Bu Hertini was busy looking at clothes, all clothes were removed by him by asking for help Mbok at home. He is confused about what clothes to wear if he meets besan. Not accidentally Rega passed by, he saw the door of his mother's room open and saw the scene. Out of curiosity Rega approached her mother.

"What else is it?"

"Oh, mommy hasn't told you yet, son. Your brother was here, he said Melati's family was already in Jakarta."

"Oh, so, Ma. Rega doesn't know about it." The man's forehead shriveled. Worry haunted his heart.

"Maybe your sister forgot to tell you the same story. Eh Mama is confused about which clothes to wear, did Mama buy more clothes, yes!" ask Mama while touching some clothes on the bed.

"Buy it if you need it, Mom. After all Rega noticed Mama rarely shopping. Nowadays it is already sophisticated, do not have to go to the mall to buy necessities at home. Can people online."

"The mama is lazy, it's old to shop this, it's complicated, dear" said Ms. Hertini with a smile.

"Yes, Rega went to the room first yes, Ma," said Rega.

"Yes, son," said his mother, then refocused looking at clothes.

Rega's feelings were not good, after a long time thinking he decided to go out to meet Arjuna. Before going out he had time to his mother's room, it turns out his mother was asleep. Rega told Mbok to look after his mother because she was going out.

On the way Rega again restless, unwittingly the presence of Melati in his heart is quite a burden. Because indirectly, and without realizing it he always thought about the woman's happiness even though he knew, Melati would never be able to be with him.

Arrive at the destination, after parking his car Rega went upstairs. He pushed the bell several times. For a long time, Rega decided to sit on the porch of a chair with a round table in the middle. The door opened, Melati's face immediately smiled as if she saw who had come.

"Sir Doctor!" he shouted while smiling.

Seeing that smile made Rega fixated, there was a subtle sigh in his heart and made the heartbeat even faster. Rega stood up, returning his sister-in-law's smile. Just as he was about to approach, Arjuna appeared and suddenly hugged Melati from behind.

"Who's Yank?" He said while leaning his chin on the woman's shoulder, which immediately made Rega look away.

"Mas! What the hell, leilain. There's Doctor Rega" said the woman, taking off her arms.

Arjuna took off his embrace slowly, and smiled at Rega.

"The romance is postponed first, there are guests!" Temptation Rega repels the awkwardness that goes on between them.

Arjuna and Melati just smiled, then let Rega in. The clock was showing at 21:30 pm, Rega was desperate to come to their apartment because he could not save feelings of anxiety with the news that had just been heard from the mother.

Arjuna and Rega chatted on the sofa, while Melati made a drink in the kitchen not far from them, because the room was without a wall so Rega could occasionally see her sister-in-law. Melati mamakai light blue nightgown, with black instant hijab. In the eyes of the man Melati always looks amazing.

Rega asked many things about the news that had been conveyed by his mother. Arjuna bluntly told her what she was and promised to tell her the truth one day.

"Sister, we already know the nature of Mama. Maybe, maybe Mama could change the principle, but we know, just a small possibility, and if that time comes, then the reality is unexpected." Rega was silent, looking at her brother's face after goal.

"Are you ready to lose one of them? Mama, or .... " Rega did not continue her words, she just turned her head towards Melati.

Arjuna was silent, his gaze fixed on Melati who was still busy stirring coffee on the dining table.
